I thought it was brilliant! My mom, like Molly, married really young. Mama married at 17. She wanted so much for me to have the chances that she never had, and I did. I graduated college, moved around the country, then fell in love and married at 30. I don't regret any of it. But, my high school boyfriend wasn't anything like Harry either. ^_~ Still, I know when I have an 18-year-old daughter, I plan to have a similar talk with her.
I think that's the unfair assumption about Ginny that it feels like a segment of the HP fandom feels that she is nothing more than Harry's significant other, and I admit I was disappointed that Ginny's crowning moment of awesome wasn't seen like Luna and Neville's in the last book. It's why I like writing her so much. She's a fantastic character, and there's a lot to work with. She deserves more.
Your Lily/Scorpius story looked great as well, and I've got it on the to-read list.
